Venus lit the building in support of Small Business Saturday, the annual shopping holiday for small businesses following Thanksgiving (November 22) and Black Friday (November 23).

Venus wore an off-the-shoulder top and a black and white patterned blouse with black skinny jeans as she celebrated small business in the Big Apple, posing with the lever that turns on the lights and taking photos atop the skyscraper in a coat on the very chilly day.

She was also given a smell replica of the Empire State Building with a special plaque.
